Titanium MikroSpikes

Happy Freezing Cold Monday! Brrrrr. It's 1 below zero here this morning, so a brutally cold one for sure. We will have a couple more very cold nights and then it should start moderating a bit.

I'm still sifting through and gathering up various small batch remnants for the last week of the year. I'm also making some new drawings and planning projects for next year including a new Keyton design and something brand new called the SideWinder that will be very cool. A new batch of titanium Count Sporkulas is coming this winter as well. I really want to get going on something I drew up two years ago called the SupaWrench and I think steel will be the ideal metal for that one. I am also thinking about a brand new triangular pocket tool design in Zr... And there were a couple of projects here at the shop that I was not able to complete this year but will be nice winter and spring projects including Wroid thickness E115 tools in Zr, Timascus Tombstones and those 3V steel Prybabies that are still halfway done but that I keep putting off finishing. KingPins in titanium and copper have been sitting here for years and I am looking at grinding the pins for them very soon. It looks like some of my newly tested ceramic glazes are going to pan out so expect more crazy cups and other pottery projects coming next year as well. 

Today I have a small batch of Titanium MikroSpikes for you. These are all anodized and stamped. I also have a few stray MikroStiks in various materials if anyone wants to email me for them.

Titanium MikroSpikes will be $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks so much for making this a great year for me! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and prosperous New Year!

Sold out, thank you so much everyone and safe travels this holiday season!

Titanium Count Forkulas!

Hello again my friends.

Here is a baker's dozen for you of another older item: The Count Forkula, aka the Prince of Forkness, returns...these are titanium and have a buttery tumbled finish. The perfect little wallet carry item for that lunchtime salad or other entree to go. I also have a half dozen of these with cap lifter handle if anyone wants to email me for them. And, a big batch of full Count Sporkulas is on the schedule to be cut for sometime this winter.

Count Forkulas will run $55 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for stopping by yet again, and hope the rest of your week is a good one. 

Basic Forkulas are all gone, thanks once again!



 

Copper Dice!

Well Happy Wednesday Everyone,

Another bright and mild day ahead for us today. Might have a few light breezes at mid day but otherwise should be an uneventful day weather-wise with nice sunny skies.  

Some of you might remember my drilled Heavy Metal Dice project from years ago. I made a big batch of metal dice in titanium and also bronze that we were drilled for bead chain. I may still have a couple sets of the bronze ones left.

At the time I intended to make a second batch of solid dice which I planned to stamp with my tiniest antique stamps to create some custom pairs. I did actually follow through with the milling and created a bunch of solid blanks. But when it came time to do the stamping I realized it was going to be a real PITA so I only ever completed three sets. Today I bring those sets to you :) 

These Heavy Metal Dice are solid copper with a nice patina, and I have leaves, skulls and gnats. They will run $75 for each set plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for swinging by this morning and have a great day!

Sold out, thank you so much!

BubbleCoin Seconds!

Howdy Folks, and Happy Tuesday to you!

There's a heavy mist this morning, but surprisingly mild outside with a brighter sky than we've seen in a couple of days. Some sun is starting to poke through and it's supposed to clear up later though and we'll have a nice day ahead I think.

Today I have some fun older pieces for you. These are seconds from a group of BubbleCoins that I made awhile back with a variety of subject matter ranging from vintage photos and drawings to abstract colors. Most are bronze but there are a couple of stainless ones here too. The glass domes give a 3D effect to the images when tilted that is really cool. The coins are heavy and will spin for a long time, especially on flat glass or a sapphire spin plate. The project proved to be rather tricky with the glue and these were ones that had some minor blems but were still presentable.

BubbleCoin Seconds will run $65 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by and have a great week ahead. :)

All gone, thank you so much!

Zirconium Satellite Minis

Happy Monday to you all. It's quite gray this morning with a bone chilling cold out there. We had a light dusting of snow last night that now covers the bare ground, but it will be gone by the end of the day.

Today I have something fun and new for you. These Zirconium Mini Hexy beads have satellite dimples on five sides and a name stamp on the sixth side. Very cool looking and the hand drilled dimples add a bit more grip. These are all torch blackened and oiled for ultimate durability. I will also have a couple dozen more coming up later this week with subtle electrical anodized colors so stay tuned for those.  

Zirconium Satellite Beads will run $35 plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for coming by and hope your week shapes up to be a good one!

Sold out, thank you so much!

Steel SpinWrenches!

Happy Thursday Everyone! It's almost the weekend, and we have another gray day out there. Dark and foreboding skies are par for the course around here this time of year. We had some heavy rain yesterday though and we could use a few inches more, It's supposed to be a little breezy later on today so I might run some errands this afternoon and take a few minutes at the park to try out my new kite. 

Today I have a micro batch for you. These are the last of the CPM 154 steel SpinWrenches. A fun little Wroid tool that is drilled for a tall spin core if anybody still might have one floating around. As I recall, they were tight so you really have to tap it in with a mallet. Scott McCoskery might still have a few available...these have a variety of stamps and two have multiple Atwood name stamps.

SpinWrenches will run $85 plus shipping and there are just five of them. Thanks for popping in today and hope you have a productive day ahead. :)

These are all gone, thanks again!

Howdy Folks,

Another super gray and chilly near winter day out there. It feels raw when you step outside and the pavement on the road is still black with the rain from last night. 

Today I have some Titanium Ringbaby tools for you. This is the last dozen and they are all stamped and anodized, except for two that are stamped but without coloring. There are also a handful of lefties if anyone wants to email me for them.

Titanium Wring Tools

Happy Monday everyone. It's gray and overcast here with two or three inches of rain coming our way through Wednesday. We are in desperate need of the precipitation and I'm glad it will be coming in the form of rain and not snow.

I'm mopping up some remnants from older projects this week and finalizing some drawings for new tools. It will be an interesting winter ahead that is for sure. :)

Today I have some Titanium Wring Tools for you. I had completely forgotten about these and came across the tray awhile back. This is the larger of the two sizes with a 3/4 inch opening for the guys with bigger hands and you can easily see how the fit would be by comparing to a 3/4 box wrench. The textured titanium is quite thick so these have some heft to them. Features include a 5/16 wrench opening, cap lifter  and extra leverage pry/screwdriver tip. They are stamped and anodized with a wide range of images and colors. I do have some plain ones available as well if anyone wants to request them. And there is a small batch of the Medium sized ones with 5/8 opening and simple pry tip that I will get to shortly as well. 

Wring Tools will run $50 plus shipping and the link is below. Thank you for poking your nose in today and I hope your week is a good one.

All gone, thank you so much!

All gone, thanks so much! 



 

Brown Micarta Fluted Megas

Happy Tuesday Everyone,

We have another fine December morning out there, a bright gray sky providing a pleasing background for the bare tree limbs. It does look a little bit like it might snow though, and I think they are calling for an inch or two tomorrow night.

Today I have a couple dozen of the older Brown Micarta 6 Flute Mega Beads for you. I love that these are so light in weight so they won't weigh you down, and they won't mar or scratch anything either. Rub a little oil on them once in a while if you want them to look darker brown.

Micarta 6 Flute Beads will run $30 each plus shipping and the link is below. Thanks for slipping by today, I certainly do appreciate it, and I hope your week is going great.

Sold out, thanks once again!

Timascus Mega Hexy Beads!

Happy Monday Folks!

It's a frosty one here this morning, the beginning of a rather chilly week ahead. It won't get out of the 30's all week apparently, and the nights will be in the teens or single digits. Winter has arrived!

Today I have some more of the Timascus Hexy Mega Beads for you. Such a cool material and always fun to work with. These are electrically anodized and have bright multicolored finishes. A nice addition to any knife or flashlight lanyard, and they also make for a cool zipper pull.

Sold Out, thank you!
